  4. The Need / Summary of the problem Journalists and activists need training to reduce risk. How do we teach them security strategies and tools to keep them safer? Note: It's the activities that are associated with reporting that create risk, not whether you call yourself a "journalist" or "reporter".

  5. Risk Situations (Joshua) People are at risk if they are reporting on: 1. Organized crime & illegal business practices 2. War/armed conflict 3. Repressive regimes/human rights issues 4. Natural disasters 5. Epidemics 6. Systemic corruption 7. Public protests 8.Political matters

  6. Context Mexico: Journalist are blackmailed and harassed when they report corruption and drug trafficking. Guatemala and Honduras: Anybody who is doing reporting on high-risk activities is in danger. Pakistan: journalists need to have technical tools to do their job safely

  7. Context DRC, Kenya and other countries in Africa: journalists lack information. Also access and distribution are big problems. Russia and other states in Eurasia: Journalists and activists work at their peril reporting human right violations, corruption, etc. and risk persecution or even being killed.

  8. Proposed Solution (Azeem) To create a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) about security strategies and tools to teach journalists and activists about risky activities, behaviors and contexts and how to be safer.
